[Dont Mention the War]

Good news. But look at how the Post spun it:

Doubts Temper War Support
Gender, Age and Politics Fuel Gaps in Opinion on Attacking Iraq

Surveys conducted since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have consistently shown that a majority of Americans favor military strikes against Iraq. But this general agreement that force should be used is neither absolute, unconditional nor uniformly shared by key voting groups, an analysis of recent Washington Post-ABC News surveys suggests.

This ambivalence, most recently reflected in a Post-ABC News poll completed Sunday, raises questions about the depth and durability of public support for using force to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The poll found that 59 percent of respondents favor using military force against Iraq, even without the support of the U.N. Security Council. But four in 10 supporters also said they had reservations about the looming conflict with Iraq. When these doubters are combined with opponents of military action, the result suggests that more than six in 10 Americans harbor at least some doubts about using force while only a third are unequivocally behind going to war.

UNBELIEVABLE!

And they buried it on page 17! Wasn't their last poll, which showed Bush's numbers down, on page one???

Bingo. No matter how good the numbers for Bush, the media will always find some less-than-positive detail in the poll, then make that the theme of the article.

And this was taken before the capture of KSM.

The liberal media is completely flummoxed.
They can't understand how, after all the
Bush-bashing they've done, Bush's numbers
can be so good.

The futility of their efforts will lead
many liberals in the media to lose their
minds and to seek psychiatric help.
